Wiss expected to be crowded this weekend...

(AP Release: 05/13/2008) Harrisburg, PA - Pennsylvania DNR offices are expecting heavier than normal trail traffic in the Wiss system and other trail systems in the southeastern part of the Commonwealth this coming weekend. Said DNR Officer Joe Primanti, "With spring weather finally arriving we anticipate heavier than normal use on trails, especially in the Philadelphia area. When you add in the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins are about to sweep the Philadelphia Flyers out of the Stanley Cup playoffs this coming Thursday night, there won't be any reason to stay inside and watch TV."

LETS GO PENS!!!

GO HOME FLYERS!!!

Enjoy your off season.

Uh, the Flyers are home. And I dont trust any quote from a Primanti, god knows they dont even know what a cheesesteak is.

Ah yes, the one proverbial gift of Philly culture (pardon the oxymoron), the cheesesteak. Only in Philly would they take something so painfully obvious and screw it up. Instead of making them with, say, real cheese and real steak, they make them with Steak-ums and Cheeze-Whiz. Now, pardon us while we turn our attention to Detroit. Bye-bye.

Let those Pens fans have their moment. I mean after something like 10 years of sucking, then just stockpiling draft picks because they sucked, having the team threaten to leave town because they were so bad no one would come watch them play, then have a superstar who whines so much the league figured we better give this kid some breaks, because they didn't need the embarassment of having one of their supposed stars actually breaking down in tears on the ice after every non-call, the law of averages has to work out in their favor eventually. They've received every break the league could possibly give them next to just handing them the cup. Enjoy your moment, because your financially sinking club won't be together for very long.

I think you have it wrong. Maybe in the sad little shops in Pittsburgh would they use steak-um, but here they use thinly sliced rib eye or something similar depending on the location. Now wiz, its an acquired taste. Everywhere also has American if you can't hang. But calling a cheeseburger a cheesesteak.....well thats just sad. Not to mention putting it on sliced bread with french fries and slaw. And for the record, its hard to screw up something that you invented, don't you think? How bout them Flyers? Oh and i forgot to mention... "Philly culture (pardon the oxymoron)" means a lot coming from someone who lives in West Virginia, Pittsburgh must seem like a beacon of hope. Poor guy.

The fact that primantis makes their cheesesteaks out of ground beef tells you how low on the priority list it is for them. I honestly don't even know why it is on the menu. It must be great living in Philadelphia playing second fiddle to NYC. How are those 10,000 losses treating the Philly fans? (Of course, the Pirates can't be far behind) "Philly Culture" is based on a fictional character. At least our statues are of real people. The Pens were due for a loss. Sunday is going to be fun.

Better then second fiddle to ....Ohio. Most people in Pittsburgh I saw were ordering the "cheesesteak" so I suppose they need to move it up the priority list. Those 10,000 losses took us to the playoffs last yea, you? Who are your statues of? Mister Rodgers and Gene Kelly (singing in the rain). Please do your homework before you start insulting Rocky. *Pittsburgh culture* Yins want to eat n'at? HAHAHA

Way to go Pens! Yeah, Hartnell and company have whined to every media outlet they could find for this series...I doubt they stop crying tomorrow. The disallowed goal was close, but would it have mattered if it's 5-1 or 5-0? No.

why don't yinz get a clue?

Please...home to Detroit. If you were watching hockey, not just the Pens, you'd know that.

Anyway...as someone who lived in Pittsburgh for 8 years after graduating from Pitt, I have lots of love for da 'Burgh. The riding in Western PA is great. (this is a MTB website, right?)
I miss living next to and riding Frick almost everyday.

BUT - as far as hockey, or Pittsburgh being a hockey town....get real.
The team WAS GOING TO LEAVE.
How can you even talk like you live in a real hockey town?

Admit it...this is just something to get fired up about until the Steelers start.
Your guns are all clean, the girl's out getting a perm., the trails are too wet...got to do something!
